Can I get to the other side?

(PS: In the previous chapter, Sun Ce killed four or five thousand people, but it was changed to two thousand people. I know I am wrong and correct it.)

Under the horrified eyes of Sun Ce's army, Lu Bu launched a charge.

Even though he was just one person, his charge was magnificent, and the sense of oppression given to people was no less than that of thousands of troops.

His eyebrows were raised, his eyes were sharp and terrifying, and his murderous aura seemed to burst out like a substance.

Just looking at it was frightening.

The 15-foot-long Fang Tian Huaji flashed a fascinating cold light in the sun.

Sun Ce was also a hero, with fierce eyes, disheveled hair, and he rode his horse and killed Lu Bu with his spear.

The two fought again, and the sound of golden swords was endless.

Sun Ce, who had been injured, was not as brave as before. After ten rounds, his spear skills gradually became scattered and his strength was not good.

In the 30th round, the knuckles of his hands were completely broken, and blood dripped down the Overlord Spear.

"Sun Ce, you are a man. If you surrender now and make Jiangdong return to the Han Dynasty, I will spare your life."

Lv Bu blocked Sun Ce's Overlord Spear with a halberd, and the blade pierced his left shoulder blade, saying coldly.

"Don't even think about it, you and me! Today, we will fight to the death!"

How could Sun Ce surrender?

He knew very well that whether it was his father's private collection of the imperial seal or his repeated disobedience to the orders of the emperor of Yecheng, it was no different from treason.

If he surrendered, not only would his foundation be lost, but no one in the Sun Mansion would be alive.

Now, even if he died on the battlefield, with Zhou Yu's assistance, Sun Quan could inherit his foundation and retreat to Jiangdong.

There may be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

"In this case, then die!"

Lv Bu's face turned cold, and his offensive was like a storm, becoming more and more fierce.

"Even if I die, I will still be the Overlord of Jiangdong! You, Lü Fengxian, will always be slaves of three surnames!"

Sun Ce fought desperately.

A large piece of his head was cut off, and he would not survive even if he went back.

It would be better to die on the battlefield in a dignified manner.

After the 40th round, the Overlord Spear in Sun Ce's hand, which was invincible, was broken into three pieces!

By the 50th round, he was no longer able to resist, and his head flew into the sky.

The hot blood spurted out from his neck, poured down, and drenched Lü Bu's entire body into a bloody man.

"Bo Fu!"

In the distance, Zhou Yu, who was worried, led 5,000 troops to support.

As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he saw the scene of Sun Ce's death, and his eyes were immediately bloodshot.

"Kill!"

Zhou Yu roared angrily and led the army to kill Lü Bu.

Lu Bu leaned over to pick up Sun Ce's head, grinned in the direction of Zhou Yu, squeezed his legs hard on the horse's belly, and then rushed away from the battlefield at lightning speed, catching up with the Bingzhou Wolf Riders who had burned their food and grass and retreated.

...

After the order to recruit talents was issued, although there were many people who came to serve and could be called talents, most of them were not up to the level of being personally met by Liu Xie.

It was just like Adou appointed the prime minister by looking for names one by one from the memorial to the emperor. People whose names were not recorded in the history books were not in his eyes.

Guo Jia was responsible for civil officials, and the recruitment of military generals was handed over to Taishi Ci, considering that Zhang Liao had to manage the army on weekdays and Zhang He and Gao Lan had to protect the safety of the palace.

Taishi Ci, who received this task, did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

For more than ten days in a row, he worked diligently.

On this day, Liu Xie summoned him to the palace.

"Ziyi, is there a strong general who can come and join us?"

"Your Majesty, I am not satisfied." Taishi Ci shook his head and replied truthfully: "I have selected many people in recent days. Regardless of strategy, from the perspective of martial arts alone, no one can survive thirty rounds under my command. They are really not worthy of being used."

"I think that the quality of a general is more important than the number of generals. We cannot recruit those mediocre people to lead the troops. That will only make the soldiers die in vain."

Because he recruited generals instead of soldiers, his selection criteria were very simple. He first tested infantry combat, horse combat, and horse archery, etc., and if these met the standards, he would be qualified if he survived thirty rounds under his command.

In his opinion, for a general who leads troops to fight, you may not be good at strategy, but your personal martial arts must be outstanding. If you can't even survive thirty rounds, how can you be a general?

When Liu Xie heard this, the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

This Taishi Ci has no self-knowledge at all!

If someone can last thirty rounds under his command, how can he be an unknown person? He must have been recorded in history.

"Ziyi, the standard can be lowered appropriately. If he can last more than ten or twenty rounds, he will be hired. He cannot lead an army alone, but he is more than qualified to be a deputy general or a captain of a thousand men."

Now he has Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Gao Lan, Zhang He, and Taishi Ci under his command, which can be said to be a group of fierce generals.

Although there is no shortage of generals, there is a shortage of middle-level generals.

"Yes! I will remember it!"

Taishi Ci felt a little warm in his heart. He didn't expect that his status in the heart of the emperor was so high.

As long as he can last more than ten or twenty rounds under his command, he can be a deputy general or a captain of a thousand men.

This made him feel happy to be recognized and appreciated.

Taishi Ci added: "Although there are no brave generals coming in these days due to the recruitment order, I met a brave man a few days ago."

"This man is fifty-three years old, but his martial arts are quite good. I fought with him for eighty rounds, and there was no winner. After one hundred and fifty rounds, I was at a disadvantage."

"Oh?" Liu Xie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked quickly: "What is this man's name? Ziyi, can you recruit him into the army?"

Taishi Ci's martial arts was ranked among the best among the generals of the Three Kingdoms.

The other party, who is over fifty years old, can actually fight on a par with Tai Shici?

Could such a fierce man be Huang Zhong?

In Liu Xie's expectation, Taishi Ci replied: "This man's surname is Huang Mingzhong and his courtesy name is Hansheng. He is a general under Liu Pan, the nephew of Liu Biao in Jingzhou."

"As far as the general knows, his only son suffered from a strange disease and sought medical treatment everywhere. He heard that there was a famous doctor in Yecheng, so he came to seek medical advice. Although the general invited him to join the army, he was declined."

Taishi Ci's tone was rather regretful.

He rarely encounters opponents who can suppress him in martial arts, especially since Huang Zhong is so old.

If he were ten years younger, he would be no match for him.

He really wanted to recruit such a good man, and he had been running out of words these days.

It's a pity that Huang Zhong's purpose in coming to Yecheng this time was to take his son to seek medical treatment, and not in response to the order to recruit talents.

"It's really Huang Zhong!"

Liu Xie was overjoyed when he got the answer he wanted.

This is a famous general!

When he was sixty or seventy years old, he could still fight Guan Yu in his prime for hundreds of rounds, and the fight ended in a draw.

In the end, Xia Houyuan was killed in front of the two armies at his advanced age!

Such a fierce general is more than ten years younger than the one he played in history. How could Liu Xie not be delighted?

Without thinking too much, Liu Xie immediately said: "Ziyi, go find this person quickly. If he is willing to serve the imperial court, I will issue an order to find a miracle doctor all over the world for him!"

Huang Zhong has come to his door, how can he let it go?

As for Liu Biao...hehe, go and play!

Anyway, you are not reusing such a powerful general, so you might as well come here to shine.

"I obey the decree!"

Taishi Ci responded with clasped fists, turned around and left.

…

Yecheng, inside a medical clinic.

A muscular man with dark skin and gray beard was nervously watching the doctor take his son's pulse, his eyes full of worry.

Not long after, the doctor finished checking his pulse.

The strong man asked anxiously and fearfully: "How is my son's condition? What disease does he have? Is there any way to cure him?"

This strong man is the spokesperson for Laodang Yizhuang - Huang Zhong!

The thin young man sitting next to him, with a pale face and black hair, was his only son Huang Xu.

"It's hard."

The doctor shook his head and sighed: "My son's illness looks like a deficiency of Qi and blood caused by congenital Yin deficiency, but it is a little different... Forgive me for my shallow medical skills, I really can't tell the difference."

"I can only prescribe a medicine to temporarily relieve your son's illness, but if you want to cure it completely, I'm afraid only the miracle doctor Hua Tuo can do it."

Hearing these words, Huang Zhong's face was full of bitterness.

If he could find Hua Tuo, he would have gone there long ago.

But the problem is that Hua Tuo has no fixed abode and travels all over the world to treat illnesses and save people. When he found out his whereabouts and rushed over, everyone was gone and he couldn't meet him at all.

The doctor in front of him was also a famous doctor in Jizhou. He came here with a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect that the result would still be like this.

"Good work."

Frustrated, Huang Zhong put down the consultation fee and helped his son out of the hospital.

Seeing his father's disappointed look, Huang Xu couldn't help but said: "Father, this disease is incurable. Maybe this is the child's life."

"It's so tiring for my father to take his child everywhere to seek medical treatment at such an old age, and the child really can't bear it."

Hopes were raised again and again, but they were disappointed again and again. In order to treat him, Huang Zhong almost spent all his money and even lost the official position he had worked so hard for. His whole body was visibly older, which made him do this. How can you bear it for your son?

"nonsense!"

Huang Zhong's eyes were red, and he yelled angrily: "We are not yet at the end of the road, how can we just say nothing and let him die! Didn't the doctor say that as long as we find Hua Tuo, we can be saved!"

"My father will take you to find Hua Tuo tomorrow!"

Even though it is difficult to find Hua Tuo, he will not give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope!

Huang Xu choked up and said, "Father, the child is unfilial..."

Huang Zhong sighed and was about to open his mouth to comfort him when he suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping along the street and reining in their horses in front of him.

"Who are you?"

Huang Zhong was shocked. He protected his son behind him and looked at the group of soldiers in front of him warily.

The leader, Tai Shici, took off his helmet and said with a smile, "Brother, don't you remember me?"

When Huang Zhong saw him, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "General Taishi, I just want to take the dog to seek medical treatment, but I really can't serve the country."

He was deeply impressed by the young man in front of him.

Not long ago, he came to Yecheng. On the way, he encountered bandits attacking the village, so he came to help. It happened that Taishi Ci also arrived with his troops. He also thought he was a bandit and wanted to get rid of him together. The two fought eighty times. There is no winner or loser in any round.

After the misunderstanding was finally resolved, Taishi Ci apologized to him and wanted to recruit him into the army, but he had clearly refused at that time. Unexpectedly, he came back today.

Taishi Ci cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said, "Brother, today is not my personal invitation, but your Majesty's personal invitation. I hope that my brother can serve the country."

"Your Majesty knew that the old general brought his son to seek medical treatment, and he was deeply moved. He thought of his fatherly love, so he specially ordered your Majesty. Regardless of whether he is willing to serve the court or not, he will search for famous doctors all over the world and even the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. Come to Yecheng to treat your son's illness."

Huang Zhong's old eyes widened when he heard this.

The emperor personally summoned him?

And he is still willing to go to the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to treat his son?

"Father, please come down!"

Huang Xu's excited face showed a few sickly blushes, and he kept urging his old father beside him.

What excited him was not that the emperor was willing to find the miracle doctor Hua Tuo for him, but that the emperor personally ordered to recruit his father. What an honor it was!

That was a solicitation from the emperor!

No matter what position you hold here, your future is much brighter than being a general in Jingzhou!

Huang Zhong came back to his senses and asked in disbelief: "General Taishi, don't you want to deceive me?"

He couldn't believe it.

I am just a little-known assistant general, and now I have reached the age where I know my destiny. How could He De get such attention and favor from the emperor?

"How dare I preach the Holy Order in vain?" Tai Shici said patiently: "Your Majesty is in the palace, and the old general can follow me into the palace to have an audience. This is a rare grace."

"good!"

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Taishi Ci, because he felt that Taishi Ci had no need to lie to him; if it was true, his son would be saved!

If he can't find Hua Tuo, the emperor will definitely find him!

…

Huang Zhong, led by Tai Shici, came all the way to the palace.

He was a little skeptical at first, but when he followed Tai Shici through the heavily guarded Forbidden Army and walked in the magnificent and solemn palace, all his doubts turned into awe and excitement!

His son might really be saved.

When the eunuch announced that he had entered the palace, Huang Zhong did not dare to raise his head to look at the most noble figure in the world. He kowtowed tremblingly and saluted: "Huang Zhong, a common man, here to greet your majesty!"

Although he was originally an assistant general under Liu Pan, he had resigned from his official position a long time ago in order to take his son to seek medical treatment. Now he is just a white man.

"No gift."

Liu Xie looked at Huang Zhong with a smile on his face, "I heard that General Taishi said that you are getting stronger when you are older, and your martial arts are still superior to him when you are over fifty. You are really a rare hero in the world. Now that I see you, you are indeed extraordinary." "

When Huang Zhong was under Liu Biao, he had never been praised like this before, especially from the emperor. He felt panic in his heart and said quickly: "Your Majesty, you are exaggerating. The common man is just a vulgar warrior. How can he be worthy of the title of hero? I'm really scared." "

Liu Xie was not impressed by Huang Zhong's modesty, and went straight to the point: "In today's world, the princes are rising together, and their lives are hanging upside down. I will send an edict to the world, searching for good talents, and reviving the great Han Dynasty."

"You are skilled in martial arts, but if you don't serve the imperial court, wouldn't it cost me a pillar of talent?"

"As for your only son's illness, I will send an order to find Hua Tuo for treatment."

At this time, Huang Zhong was focused on his son.

Sure enough, after hearing the emperor's words in person, he was immediately moved to tears and kowtowed deeply: "The common people are willing to die for your majesty!"

Although I don’t know why the emperor would value such a little-known person like him, as long as he can cure his son’s illness, it doesn’t matter if he takes this old life!

Besides, this was the emperor's personal invitation. Being loyal to the country is a man's duty, so how could he refuse?

"good."

Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction, "Tomorrow you go to the Xuzhou Army camp outside the city to find General Zhang Liao, and you will serve under him from now on. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations."

Although he knew Huang Zhong's loyalty and bravery, after all, he had just been recruited, and he had no outstanding achievements or prominent family background. He would not be able to convince others if he was named a general right away.

You must know that Taishi Ci fought Yuan Tan fiercely and delayed the Qingzhou army for three days, only to get General Yingyang. Therefore, he had to wait for Huang Zhong to have a record before making a reward.

With Huang Zhong's force and staying by Zhang Liao's side, it was difficult not to make meritorious deeds.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Huang Zhong agreed respectfully, and then left the hall with Tai Shici and walked outside the palace.

After stepping out of the palace gate, he still felt that all this was too unreal. He couldn't help but look back at the magnificent palace behind him, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Father! How is it?"

Huang Xu, who was waiting outside the palace, saw his father coming out and quickly went up to him and asked eagerly.

Huang Zhong withdrew his gaze, hugged his son, and said in a trembling voice: "Xu'er, you are saved! Your Majesty will find the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to treat you!"

"Father!" Huang Xu burst into tears excitedly, both for himself and for Huang Zhong.

The father and son hugged each other and cried outside the palace gate.

…

At the same time, something happened to Xu You who was far away in Hejian County.

The judge, who had been wary of him, caught him.
